JUWEL SeaSkim

48 h

The JUWEL SeaSkim combines the product benefits of an internal skimmer
characterised by the fact that no water exits the aquarium with a compact shape and
high skimming capacity.

With output of 1500 l/h, the integrated pump air intake of 150 l/h and consequently
ensures effective protein skimming for seawater aquariums with a volume of 100 - 500
litres. However, the JUWEL SeaSkim does not serve as filter system replacement in the
seawater aquarium.

The skimming utilises the fact that many so-called surface-active substances
accumulate at the boundary between water and air, especially in saltwater. This
includes proteins and their first stages of decomposition (these contain the undesired
elements nitrogen and phosphorus), but also smallest dirt particles (solids) etc.

Installation in JUWEL aquariums

The JUWEL SeaSkim is intended for installation in the JUWEL Rio, Lido, Vision and
Trigon aquariums. These Juwel aquariums are characterised by the fact that an opening
for the SeaSkim is already available and closed by means of a cap. Remove the cap
closing the cover.

Recommendation: Flap set for JUWEL SeaSkim

If the cover of your JUWEL aquarium does not include a special opening for
SeaSkim, we recommend that you contact your specialist retailer.

The matching flap set for SeaSkim can be purchased there as an original JUWEL
spare part.

Installation of the mount for the JUWEL SeaSkim

The SeaSkim is permanently installed by means of the mount included in the delivery.
This ensures the correct position in the aquarium and consequently optimum skimming
results. The aquarium should be emptied to such an extent that you may wipe the
panes dry.

You achieve the correct position by using the enclosed template for positioning the
mount.

1. Initially fold the template at the designated lines and align it in the manner
detailed below.

2. Aquarium model RIO, LIDO, VISION:
Hang the template from the inside over the edge of the frame of the left side pane and

align it at the rear left corner (ref. figure A).

2. Aquarium model TRIGON:
Hang the template with a distance of 25 cm to the rear outer edge of the frame from

the inside over the edge of the frame of the left side pane (ref. figure B).

3. Secure the template by means of an adhesive strip in order to avoid shifting.

4. Apply a sufficient quantity of the enclosed JUWEL Conexo glue (item No. 88355) to
the outside of the mount after attaching the template.

5. Affix the mount through the designated opening of the template from the inside to
the aquarium pane and let it dry for at least 48 hours.

6. Remove the template after the drying time.

7. Check that the mount is securely seated and remove any glue residues that may
have escaped.
